1,1,1,- Trifluoro- 2- substituted- phenyl- 2- propanols- 3- 14C were prepared from addition of methyl- 14C magnesium iodide to appropriate trifluoroacetophenone. These alcohols were converted into tosylates by reaction with n - butyllithium and then with p- toluenesulfonyl chloride. The yield, boiling point or melting point and pertinent spectral data of these compounds are reported.
